What is the most beauteful word in the world?
Well, usually a beauteful word describes something beauteful.
But NLP researches have shown that the most precious, the most beauteful word we know and react on is our own name.
Most people tend to forget this, and take it for granted. But think about it.
Imagine these two scenarios, and you can answer which of the scenarios you would react most positive on.
The CEO (you´ve never meet him in person) of the global company you´re working for with thousands of employees comes in to your office and holds a beateful AMAZING speech.
OR….
The CEO of your global company (you´ve never meet him before) with tens of thousands employees comes to your office and shakes the hand of everybody. A couple of hours later you´re standing by the coffe machine and the CEO is suddenly there waiting for a coffe also, and sees you and says: Oh hello Mete (your name), what did you think about the seminar?
The effect someone has on us when using our name is so powerful and yet so underestimated.
Imagine if you went to buy a burger from McDonalds, and when the young guy/girl asks to take your order, you reply: – Hi Steve, i will have this and this…..
Will you be just another customer for him…, or somewhat unique for him. Do you think he gives you those extra fries you wanted?
Or imagine this.
You´re going for a job interview, you´ve already checked up the names of the people who will interview you for the job.
You´re waiting in the lobby, and one of the interviewers comes out to shake your hand and tell you welcome, when you suddenly say: Oh Hi Mrs. Joansen…how are you?
In her mind, Mrs Joansen will like what she has heard, she is also wondering how you could knew her name, but at the same time she feel suddenly a bond between you. And that connection….CAN´T hur your chances of getting that job.
This is the easiest NLP technique i know i can use in my daily life.
Instead of just saying Hi to your co-workers, use their name instead: Hi Kelly ….you make her special…its her precious name…the name she had since she was 2 months old.
If you agree with me or not, please give me a responese.
